WARNING!!!!....DAY 18.CLEAN.

[Oxykicker]

Hi to all my buddies on the forum, they know who they are. I have been away for more tests, MRI etc to determine the extent of my ON, so have not been able to post and am just catching up.

Well I just wanted to say things are a lot better.

Oxycontin withdrawal.

Just a couple of questions for any long term clean posters, today after a bath I suddenly become very hot all over yet felt cold to touch, and have begun sneezing and coughing again.

Also still have a pins/needles feel to arms/legs and arms legs hurt somtimes when moving or stretching.

And one of the worst symtoms is the lack of good sleep ( if any ) without sleepers, and the dreams, does your brain ever shut down and allow some good old fashioned sleep??.

Thanks in advance for any advice or posts.

And to all who are on the clean path a million or more thoughts of good luck, and stick at it, the best is round the corner.
David.

Stay strong and hang in there. I think all those feelings are normal.  I still have them the sweats at night, and the RLS at times.  
Glad to see you back and posting again congrats on day 18!!!

All that you are experiencing is normal. I can't tell you when good sleep returns because I never sleep good. It's exhausting!!! But I just keep pushing through that the best advice I can give you. Leave the sleeping pills alone you don't need to be dependent on them.

Nice to hear from you. Be strong

I dont know much about oxycontin, but I was a BIG user of oxycodone.  Until I got on Suboxone, I had the worst time sleeping and still sometimes do.  If you want PM me and I will tell ya a few over the counter meds that helped me with the legs and sleep/relaxing.  They are all over the counter and all natural, its by Hylands.  I have used them even before I decided to quit using oxys.  

I hope you continue with the positive energy you have now!!!  CONGRATULATIONS on day 18!!!!!
